• Abstract: Mobile augmented reality (MAR) blends a real scenario with overlaid virtual content, which has been envisioned as one of the ubiquitous interfaces to the Metaverse. Due to the limited computing power and battery life of MAR devices, it is common to offload the computation tasks to edge or cloud servers in close proximity. However, existing offloading solutions developed for MAR tasks suffer from high migration overhead, poor scalability, and short-sightedness when applied in provisioning multi-user MAR services. To address these issues, a MAR service-oriented task offloading scheme is designed and evaluated in edge-cloud computing networks. Specifically, the task interdependency of MAR applications is firstly analyzed and modeled by using directed acyclic graphs. Then, we propose a look-ahead offloading scheme based on a modified Monte Carlo tree (MMCT) search, which can run several multi-step executions in advance to get an estimate of the long-term effect of immediate action. Experiment results show that the proposed offloading scheme can effectively improve the quality of service (QoS) in provisioning multi-user MAR services, compared to four benchmark schemes. Furthermore, it is also shown that the proposed solution is stable and suitable for applications in a highly volatile environment.

  State Space Models (SSMs) with efficient hardware-aware designs have demonstrated significant potential in computer vision tasks. These models have been constrained by three key challenges: insufficient inductive bias, long-range forgetting, and low-resolution output representation. We introduce the Dynamic Visual State Space (DVSS) block, which employs deformable convolution to mitigate the long-range forgetting problem. We also introduce High-Resolution Visual State Space Model (HRVMamba) based on the DVSS block, which preserves high-resolution representations throughout the entire process.
